It simply makes sense.

Sure, one can use religion and moral backing to argue as to why legal brothels in Canada is a bad thing. Then, with everyone else, you can turn a blind eye to it happening right in your back yard because it is not YOUR child in immediate danger at the time. As much as the legal system tries to combat it, prostitution has found a way to continue and thrive. Hell, there are a row of dive hotels and motels along Kingston Road in Scarborough that you know most sane human beings would not stay in so how do they stay in business? Oh yeah, you know what goes on there. The same thing that went on in the forest near City Hall in Scarborough, the parks in Etobicoke, the forest behind the police college, the beach downtown... it's everywhere.



So, since we cannot get rid of it, I say go ahead and regulate and tax the damn thing. They get medical benefits, a safe place to work, health inspections and are not prowling the streets showing their wares in the middle of winter. The lure of a half naked body will not be enticing your man to go get some. Rather, he will have to consciously make the effort to go get some; he will have no excuse as to how he ended up there after that so don't blame the workers.



Stop debating this people. Legalize brothels now! Do so before another sick person decides they have a better plan, a similar one to Robert Picton's, on how to clean up the streets.



Ciao.
